Ndey:
Let us hope that someone else will come to the rescue. We will be
disappointing ourselves
thinking that the Gambia AIDS Commission will say a thing. Haven't we all
heard and read
about the accolades Jammeh received from the so-called Drs. They were
sounding like the
man is a Jesus come again. The sad thing is that our names and the name of
our nation
is being dragged into mud and these guys care less. I just don't know if
they know anything
about ethics in their proffessions.

>>Jammeh starts curing HIV/AIDS patients today
>>Written by Lamin M Dibba
>>Thursday, 18 January 2007

>>As the world’s scientists and medical doctors continue to scout for an
>>HIV/AIDS cure, which they have not been able to find for the past 20
>>years, The Gambian leader President Yahya Jammeh yesterday disclosed that
>>he has the cure for the HIV/Aids pandemic as well as asthma.
>>
>>Today at State House, the Gambian leader will start the treatment of
>>HIV/Aids patients. His treatment of asthma patients will start on
>>Saturday. Below, we reproduce the full text of the Gambian leader’s
>>statement on the cure of the two diseases, delivered at State House at a
>>ceremony attended by the Vice-President, Secretaries of States and many
>>dignitaries.
>>
>>“I call you to this meeting and maybe you will wonder why I called you
>>including the two Ambassadors from Cuba and Taiwan. I called the two
>>Ambassadors and of course Rose Clair Charles because you have a direct
>>link with the health delivery system of this country. You know that Cuba
>>is a key partner in our health sector and Taiwan is the force behind the
>>Medical Team in The Gambia. This is a follow up to what I said on GRTS
>>that I will now fully participate in the treatment of certain critical
>>cases.
>>
>>Since 1994, there are many Gambians who know what I can do. A lot of
>>people have been treated in silence or under conditions of strict
>>confidentiality .One would wonder why I start giving medicine to the
>>public and all of a sudden stop. I have been having a lot of queries about
>>that even after we went to the RVTH on Saturday. People were saying,
>>“Well, the President. This is what he does. He will introduce very
>>effective medicines and all of a sudden it will die down and we will not
>>have access to him.”
>>
>>I had to work on instructions. I don’t have the mandate to do it publicly
>>in great numbers. I was only restricted to a small number so as to be able
>>to prove to people that what I say is what I can do before I have the
>>permission to do it publicly.
>>
>>I am not speculating on my medicine. There are living witnesses to what my
>>medicine can do. As far as I am concerned it takes only five minutes to
>>cure asthma. I have other medicinal herbs that can take care of a number
>>of illnesses. One of it was the one that was sold publicly at the July 22
>>Square and the Serrekunda Police Station. But of course, it has to stop at
>>a point because I don’t have the mandate to go beyond that.
>>I now have the mandate to cure people publicly under strict conditions
>>that I have to abide by otherwise I pay the price.
>>
>>Now I have the mandate to publicly treat all the diseases on condition
>>that the patient will be treated publicly. In fact, the first and the most
>>important condition is that the person must be diagnosed by a medical
>>practitioner or a medical institution. I am not authorised to treat
>>anybody who just feels sick without a doctor’s confirmation. I can treat
>>asthma and HIV/Aids and the cure is a day’s treatment. Within three days
>>the person should be tested again and I can tell you that he/she will be
>>negative. After the treatment, they have to go to the RVTH for a test
>>again. As I said, I will not treat anybody who is not diagnosed as
>>asthmatic or a HIV/Aids patient by a doctor. I don’t want to give my
>>medicine to a wrong person.” So the reason why I called you is that I have
>>to work with a team of doctors that I can trust. Doctors who will not
>>sabotage my treatment. That does not in anyway mean that I will give them
>>the medicine. These doctors would make sure that the patients abide by the
>>instructions. If I give you the medicine with instructions on how to go
>>about it and you go and do something contrary to that and you turn out to
>>be positive ,don’t blame me. I will not give you names but it is true. It
>>is not a treatment that I speculate on. I am not doing it for money or
>>popularity. The mandate I have is that HIV/Aids cases can be treated on
>>Thursdays. That is the good news and the bad news is that I cannot treat
>>more than ten patients every Thursday. There is nothing I can do about it
>>and if I go beyond that I will have to pay the price.
>>
>>For asthma, I have to choose between Saturday and Friday. I am also not
>>authorised to treat more than 100 people. I am also not authorised to
>>treat anybody who does not produce a diagnostic paper of asthma or
>>HIV/Aids. One will asked what the Cuban and Taiwanese ambassadors are
>>doing here. The aim is to share the treatment with them because in Taiwan
>>traditional medicine are used. The asthma medicine can be mass produced
>>and packaged and exported to them. The one on HIV/Aids cannot be mass
>>produced because I am restricted to ten patients only on every Thursday
>>and I cannot go beyond that. I want to have a team of three doctors for
>>asthma and HIV/Aids. I want you to select ten HIV/Aids patients: five
>>males and five females for Thursday.
>>
>>The conditions should be explained to them before they come because if any
>>of them backs out, you cannot replace the one that has backed out. They
>>can eat before coming but they should not eat anything that is oily. The
>>medicine will be given to them in the morning as a preliminary and after,
>>they can eat and in the evening they take it again. Once that is done,
>>they cannot eat anything else the following morning. They may be hungry
>>and thirsty but they have to bear it and that is why they need a doctor to
>>monitor them. Once they have taken the medicine, they should not eat
>>anything no matter what happens till the following day.
>>
>>Now with regards to asthma treatment, that is the easiest part. When they
>>are coming for treatment in the morning, they should not eat anything that
>>has pepper or seafood when they take the medicine, for four hours they
>>should not eat anything. After that they can eat anything except something
>>that contains oil or seafood. We want to see how we can work with the RVTH
>>to see where these people can be kept until the following morning.With
>>regards to asthma treatment, there is no need to keep them. They can go
>>for six months, without taking anything that is alcoholic. With regards to
>>HIV/Aids, they should be kept at a place that has adequate toilets
>>facilities because they can be going to toilet every five minutes.
>>Anybody who says he will not be treated publicly should stay away because
>>I have to fulfill the conditions and I will not take risks for anybody.
>>
>>I am not a witch doctor and in fact you cannot have a witch doctor. You
>>are either a witch or a doctor.
